bug in 10.0.3 hgfs (buffer overflow)?

I am running VMware Workstation 10.0.3 on Fedora 20 (64-bit) with a Fedora 20 Guest (64-bit).  The customer has tools installed VMwareTools - 9.6.2 - 1688356.tar.gz, with a patch for vmhgfs (attached) to work with the kernel 3.15.

The problem is that when I try to run GNU autotools (particularly a configuration script generated by autoconf) a volume of hgfs, I get garbage (characters draws) in the output.  This can be reproduced using the autotools sample project http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mkomu/docs/autohowto.html , non-tarage to a volume on the guest hgfs, running ".» "/ autogen.sh" and then click "configure."  The result is:

. / config.status: line 331: near syntax error unexpected token 'newline '.

. ' / config.status: line 331: ' "'

This is because the line 317 of the config.status it creates has hundreds of inside null characters.  It seems that these characters are inserted after 8192nd byte of a 'HERE doc' shell redirection in the configure script.  This occurs when you run configure on any project autotools-based on a volume hgfs.  I tried to reproduce with a simple shell script, but can't seem to do repeatable.

I expect to share this volume between Fedora and Windows VMs, but I think I'll be back to samba for now.  Someone else saw related issues?

Thank you

Ben

Hi Ben,

I am the developer for this feature and thank you for your help for reporting this issue.

Thanks for the detailed report and the script to reproduce this problem.

I have a bug of similar sounding I'm about to investigate. I'll use this script too to see if they are identical.

  • Ignoring the buffer overflow

    Is there a way of 'ignore' the buffer overflow error and leave the buffer to be overwritten without having to close and the process of acquisition and retune the radio report?

    Hey Brandon,.

    I'm glad you asked on this subject!  We have just posted our latest driver OR USRP, version 1.3.  You can download it here:

    http://www.NI.com/download/NI-USRP-1.3/4711/en/

    One of the features of this driver is a new node property that allows you to cost overruns and overflows as warnings rather than errors.  "You can find the Configuration property' advanced search ' WARNING policy.  Then, you can wire the constant return warnings:

    Please note, after updating your driver, you must also update the FW and FPGA on your USRP image.

  • 2 microphones. Buffer overflow.

    I get an error of buffer overflow while acquiring data from 2 microphones.

    On this buffer overflow

    Buffer overflows can cacuse legitimate programs to fail. Other programs that are the buffer overflows, however, can be used to damage your computer, compromising safety and damage important files.
    He asked me then either:

    So I can't get Internet Explorer to work. I get the same alert. I did some reading and saw that the overflow is an attack, and I hope the McAfee caught, but how to stop this buffer overflow so that I can get my computer working again? I am writing from another computer, since I can't get the internet right now.

  • Now PATCHED: Player QuickTime Streaming Debug Error Logging buffer overflow

    The following was copied/pasted from http://secunia.com/advisories/40729/

    Description
    Krystian Kloskowski has found out a [critical] vulnerability in QuickTime Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

    The vulnerability is due to an error of border in QuickTimeStreaming.qtx during the construction of a string to write to a debug log file. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow for example tricking a user in the display of a malicious web page that references a file SMIL containing a URL that is too long.

    A successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

    The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.6.6 (1671) for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.

    [NO] Solution
    A hotfix or an update is not currently available.

    EDIT: Due to this vulnerability in QuickTime, Secunia reports now all my browswers (IE, FF, Opera) as being insecure.

    QuickTime 7.6. 7 was released http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ ;

    and Secunia PSI removed this vulnerability to his list of (In) Secure Browsing.

  • On the HDR-XD550 buffer overflow error

    I had my handycam for over a year and only used a few times. We took it to the Disnyland and we got the video and great photos so she went in a padded case and was not again for 6-7 months. In the middle of registering my program of school kids that I have received a "buffer overflow" message and recording stopped. I was not able to record more than a few minutes since then. I read about this problem on several websites with the same model correct. Of course, Sony wants me to pay hundreds of dollars to watch because it is just over a year. Technical support even says she has heard of this problem with the other appellants, but Sony will not determine whether a recall. I spent a lot of money on what was supposed to be a quality product, and if it was because of something I did, I have to pay for the repairs, but many, many, many others have the same problem.

    Hello and welcome to the Discussion Forum for the users.

    I'm sorry you have a problem with "buffer overflow" appear on the LCD screen and the recording stops automatically. I couldn't find the model HDR-XD550 in our knowledge base, but I assume you have a model of Digital Camcorder HDR-XR550 hard drive. The "buffer overflow" error may occur when the camcorder detects the shock of the continuous noise or whipped milks, and internal protection system is activated to stop the recording on the hard disk. When recording in an environment that has continuous sound hard or milk whipped, as in a concert hall live or on a bike, please keep the camcorder from the source noise or shake as much as possible.

    This is the procedure of package as you can see, then add it after

    BEGIN
    

    Or you can add this command before call you the procedure.

    In my view, the use of the output for the large amount of logging information is not good idea.
